To think this is a ridiculous amount of toilet rolls weekly???

With the price increases of generally everything it's bugging the life out me even more than it did previously. I've always said my household use far too many per week but surely 9 per week is excessive. We are a family of 3, DC, husband and myself. It's definitely not my DC using excessive amounts or putting some down the toilet etc because DC likes an audience when doing the toilet and likes reassurance she is wiping correctly.

Just me - use Regina chamomile - buy it on special offer from wilko - last time was 9 rolls for £3. One roll lasts just over 2 weeks- good quality quilted paper.

we sometimes use three A DAY when there’s lots of kids here 😩

Yorkshirebred · 25/07/2022 21:44

12 of us in our house and we only use 2 rolls per week. We have a wonderful wild garden full of dock leaves so jobby done (pardon the pun)

youwouldthink · 25/07/2022 21:48

Two of us here and use about 3 each a week. Always bought the same brand...price gone up and sure there's less in a roll!

I'm with the poster who uses Who gives a crap. 48 rolls lasts us about 7 months, 2 adults 2 tween girls. I think the quality is good. Soft enough for blowing noses too. It also disintegrates well so less likely to cause a blockage, which I like as we have a saniflow in one bathroom.

Sanfranciscobabe · 25/07/2022 21:49

48 who gives a crap box lasts us just under 3 months so I’d say 4-5 rolls a week here for 4 of us

Terfydactyl · 25/07/2022 21:54

2 adults, one who uses loads of loo roll for nose, 7 a week. Costcos own which is decent quality.
Not something I'm prepared to try cut down on. I think there are other ways to save.

MiniPumpkin · 25/07/2022 21:57

Also 9 rolls a week for 3 of us here. It’s my husbands fault 100%, I swear he uses half a roll each morning..

AppleBottomRats · 25/07/2022 22:00

There are two of us and we get through about one roll a week of the who gives a crap recycled stuff.

Missingthesea · 25/07/2022 22:03

Three adults here. We use about one roll a day, mostly because DS has chronic rhinitis so uses acres of it to blow his nose 🙄

fukkit · 25/07/2022 22:03

I like the double Aldi ones, seem to last longer than normal ones

Discovereads · 25/07/2022 22:07

Some things should just be exempt from cost cutting frugality imho.

TolkiensFallow · 25/07/2022 22:09

We use about 7 between the three of us. Dh likes to point out I use to much. I use as much as is required to be clean and I really cannot be doing with being criticised for wiping my own arse.

ellieboolou · 25/07/2022 22:17

Tesco double rolls pack of 12 every 2 weeks, we use quite a lot of loo roll as I have IBS and wee a lot, I'll not be rationing bog roll

tealady · 25/07/2022 22:19

The amount of toilet paper per roll is just silly these days. They make the tube in the middle larger and the amount of paper gets smaller. I wish they would make decent sized rolls and charge more because its annoying having to buy/store/change rolls more often.

PinkiOcelot · 25/07/2022 22:19

Am I the only one who has no idea how many rolls we use a week. I buy packs of 24 and buy another when it’s running out. No idea how long a pack lasts though.

Wafflesnsniffles · 25/07/2022 22:22

We are a family of three. A pack of nine takes us ages to get through. Easily 5-6 weeks I think.

stillherenow · 25/07/2022 22:22

I think our family of 2 use that! I wfh and am always having a wee!

Dita73 · 25/07/2022 22:22

3 adults. 24 a week

travelmad · 25/07/2022 22:23

We're another family who uses Who Gives A Crap and their 48 rolls lasts us approx 7 months (3 of us)

stillherenow · 25/07/2022 22:24

How often do the people using one roll a week wee! I go at least every 2 hours, possibly more , I constantly have a drink in my hand (tea or water not vino!). It's a constant process for me in and out !

Cherryana · 25/07/2022 22:25

Family of 4 - 1 roll a day

cheninblanc · 25/07/2022 22:26

9 week here. 4 of us and an extra for 2 nights every fortnight

stillherenow · 25/07/2022 22:27

I just asked dd and she says she uses one roll a week and I use 8 Blush

wherearebeefandonioncrisps · 25/07/2022 22:27

Some of these replies are making me laugh.
You either monitor everyone's usage or you just carry on.

Some people do sloppies which need extra paper. Some toilet roll is so thin it disintegrates on contact.

And I agree that 'Who gives a crap' is dire. Got through it like a dose of salts. ( Please excuse!)
